Topic: Slicer question/request

Hello all,
I ran into an interesting issue with Slicer, well with 3d printing using slicer to be exact. When I print with nylon, i use brim and i am on mirror plate + Hairspray. My parts do curl and they pull hard enough that the brim rips off the part. The brim is still attached  to print bed, but the part's corner is no longer attached  to the brim. Is there any way to add layer thickness to the brim section, just like there is the skirt height parameter. I think if i made brim about 1mm thick it would work wonderfully.

You could just add it into the design.  I know of no way to make brim with more than one layer.
